Savor a comforting bowl of creamy cheesy chicken and broccoli pasta that perfectly marries tender chicken with vibrant broccoli and a light, cheesy sauce. This dish effortlessly blends textures and flavors to create a nourishing meal that feels indulgent yet aligns with balanced macros.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
0.5 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1 cup Steamed Broccoli
0.25 cup Low-Fat Mozzarella Cheese (shredded)
2 tbsp Light Cream Cheese
0.25 cup Skim Milk
0.5 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Cook whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. In a nonstick skillet, cook the chicken over medium heat until fully cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove and slice into strips or bite-sized pieces.
Steam the broccoli until just tender, about 4-5 minutes.
In the same skillet, lower the heat and add the light cream cheese and skim milk. Stir continuously to create a smooth, creamy sauce. Add a pinch more garlic powder if desired.
Add the shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese into the sauce, stirring until melted and the sauce slightly thickens.
Mix in the cooked pasta, chicken, and steamed broccoli, ensuring everything is evenly coated with the creamy sauce.
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed before serving.
